Try taking a high dose of mushrooms and NOT appreciate every single Sentient and non sentient beings. We're surrounded by the miracle of nature but can't help but be jaded about it. It's good to remind oneself, once and a while.
@@Simonjose7258 lsd helped me appreciate animals and trees alot more have some fun story's from the trip, meeting a really nice cat was fun he followed me and some friends for hours
The little lilting voice you did when you were talking about quinoa for a second had me rly laughing haha! But really wow, all your videos are so amazingly informative, it's incredible to see how well you know your plants
Good morning my friend! I chose fungus as my career focus because of all the new research available about its reforestation capabilities, but I'm quickly discovering I can't do it without studying plants in a huge way. Thank you for striking the all-important balance of education and fun. Too many people think these things are mutually exclusive but they're not. They're inseparable.
I've lived in Nevada my whole life and had no idea that there were so many interesting native plant species all around here. Thank you for getting me interested in botany.
This channel is so underrated! Although my stepfather loved botany, and I regret not giving it a thought to it when he was alive and well, I am glad that I did end up getting into it. I hope I can make him proud in memory. I have botany books and stuff saved to buy later, and I shared these videos with his son. Really cool stuff!
Hey man, really appreciate your videos. I used to think of myself as a naturalist, lover of biology kind of person. I went to school for biological sciences and did a graduate degree in genomics. Then I realized I had to make money so I got a dumb fuckin IT job where I touch computers all day so I can pay the bills. I had largely forgotten my love of the natural world and science, and these videos have really been a great reminder of what’s actually important to me.
Hello you unique human, this old lady adores you, first and foremost because of your mind. What ever your life experiences were, must have been soul shaking. The best of humanity is always condensed through such methods. This time of “lockdown” is best used to educate ourselves and gain some insight into our very existence. Thank you for offering your knowledge so willingly. We are as thirsty as that desert your in today. Please sir, may we have another helping? Imagine finding life and celebrating it. Not possessing it, but celebrating it. Your teaching a science not yet named. Vandana Sheva is also pointing the way. Science not shared allowed manipulation by a handful of greedy people. Nature’s teaching is about sharing, and systems efficiency through dispersal. I’m going with that.
I like my quinoa served to me by my immigrant servants. They haven't been back to their home country since I've employed them. Making quinoa for me makes them homesick, but it's too good *not* to have it once per week.
The pholisma gives me a weird mix of feelings. I look at it and it reminds me how diverse and beautiful plants are, but at the same time something about it's shape and the fact that it's a parasite viscerally disturbs me lol
Man you made my day, hilarious . I want to plant endangered native plants on my property now. 7 people were tripping so hard they held their phone upside down when trying to like this.
Thanks for the Nebraska plant community shoutout. Absolutely love finding the Menzalias blooming in the Sandhills. I wish other botanists shared your grand enthusiasm for plants.
My lucky day! managed to score some sand & cement after weeks of lockdown & my new flyscreen arrived for my bike, now i sit down for a cuppa & see CPBBD has a new vid to chill to befoer i start work buiding my long awaited greenhouse base!
There is a big tank (think it's a crater) that's pretty full of water from all the rain a few miles north of the 8 in between Felicity and Picacho. I bet you'd find some really cool stuff around the tank if you could make it out there sometime.
wild to see something related to Borage out in an American desert. In the British Isles, Borage alongside a common partner Comfrey, are both found on fertile damp soil of semi wooded type areas places that are sometimes totally saturated with water.
The desert holly😍 Coming from the east coast I used to think the desert was so empty and barren, but it's really grown on me. All the plants and animals are so well adapted and hearty. The landscape is rugged. It's rough and beautiful. Hardly ever a boring sunset. Maybe I've been out here too long but the mouth breathers shooting shit on BLM land and other degenerate shenanigans usually just assume me. Found an office printer someone went at with a shotgun a while back. Gave me a good chuckle. Do wish they'd clean up after themselves though.
Fantastic video. I love learning about these beautiful flowers. I showed me how beautiful and resilient lotuses are. They’re officially my favorite flower.
We give so little thought to how these parasites can be. Such complex organisms yet so utterly dependent on just the right conditions for survival. Kudos to those that have cultivated the presence of mind to carve out this knowledge. For me there is a little pleasant "pop' inside me when I see a new one and then a profound sense that is indescribable upon consideration of how this came to be.
Sometimes you are a lot freer to do cool stuff when you are not bound by the restrictions and expectations of academia. They are called institutions for a reason ;) Maybe what we need is more people doing high quality science and publishing outside universities.
Awesome video as always.Love seeing all the strange and beautiful plants. And the commentary... 👍👍 "We do live in a nation largely full of jackasses"😆😁😄
Love your videos! I live on the east coast so my plant life is a little different from yours. I have two degrees, chemistry and biology, I minored in math. I took botany and dendrology with my biology studies. I wanted to do research, or become a field biologist but things did not workout and I ended up in IT, specializing in IBM mainframe communication. It pays the bills, I am old enough to retire, but decided that if I do, I would probably end up expiring be for my time. Keep up the great work!
First time watching your vids. You got my like and sub straight after "jackass"! Stunning views, that sky is amazing and awesome plants. Love your work. Thank You.
While watching your video I felt like the adult 'Hey Arnold' and I just had a few strong drinks w/ Dino Spumoni.. Now we're walking out into some desert talking about bugs, plants and shit lmaoo
I grew up riding motorcycles in these deserts and sand dunes and recently got an interest in the native plants. Very cool to see everything I’ve been missing
Woah Amazing!!I am in the UK~But recognized what is a relative of the "sea holly"! we have in the dunes!! Got to agree with you,people feck about with the natural land!
4:27 Solid advice on the screen there, but still bold of you to assume that I haven't already made that my life's goal. Especially in these most uncertain times.
Atriplex! Thank you! Been dying to know what that was since I first noticed it in Death Valley 13 years ago. Mystery. Solved. And thank you for the ability to interweave salty wit with tack sharp intelligence
The Pholisma I thought, looked like a Mammallaria from a distance, low and behold, when I looked it up, its flowers were identical to many Mammallaria. It even has the stripes. Amazing!
To quote Green Day; " welcome to paradise". Your vids always make my day, that & the Kalmia starting to bloom here. They only look good where they grow naturally.
that pholisma sonorae flower is impeccable. I'm in north texas, gonna keep watching your videos to see what i can grow on my apartment balcony for sure
I love you videos dude Again I must ask what camera are you using the autofocus and those macro close up shots are fantastic very clear after it gets focused in
just discovered this channel..... i think i found my spirit animal, this heavily accented mildly foul mouthed botany loving smart guy over here can lead us all to the better, healthier planet.

First time one of your vids almost broke my heart. Then you brought up butterflies banging and all was well. Thanks for teaching us to look down and see.
I grew up in Alaska and didn't know much about the states. In my early 20's I decided I needed to see the rest of my country. I decided the best way was to learn how to drive truck and go cross country. I did it for almost 4 years. Till I got homesick. The states are pretty, but Alaska, she's a goddess. Anyway, one night, I was driving through New Mexico in the worse thunder and lightning storm I had ever seen. I pulled over on the high part of the road because it started flooding in the low areas. The next time I went through, the desert was in bloom. I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was in the first rays of morning light. I pulled the truck over, climbed on top of my rig and just sat there, taking it in. It was real life magic and I'm sure it will be on my highlight reel that runs before you die.
What's your favorite place in southern Nevada to go hiking? I just went to Sloan canyon and grapevine canyon not too long ago. Looking for another great place to look at some plants
man you've really changed my opinion on plants and botany in general, its a massive part of my life now. thanks man

partially because of you, i've planted 10 trees native to the mid-west, where we live, on our property... please keep doing your videos...

At work right now so I will watch this video later today
Never thought there could be mushrooms growing in a desert, thank you for opening my eyes to a new micro-obsession.

I don't know much about nature and plants, but your voice is so comforting to listen to and I'm learning things :p

strikingly blue skies as opposed to the usual contrail overcast from the hundreds of coast to coast daily flights pre Covid-19
chemtrails not contrails as contrails don't obliterate the skies!

“The parasites are always the weirdest . . .” Yes, especially the ones they call humans.
Amazing video!
